  1. I was at Naha June 69-Jun 71. Was asst. crew chief on 55-023, and crew chief on 56-469. Pulled TDYs to Ubon religiously starting in Oct. 69 until the Wing deactivated. Along with Charlie Agar, Jay Green, Terry Shockler, John Roy, and others. I returned to Ubon with the Spectre gunships and crewed 54-1623 and 56-469 (again). Agar and Green followed me back there shortly after I arrived. Got to fly the "flagpole" a couple of times and played I.O. once. Had to go to Cam Rahn and TanSon Nhut when planes broke there couple of times. Sorry but I don't remember any of the flight crew names, although there was this one engineer who was rather short I got along famously with. I ran into I.O. Humphreys while I was stationed at McChord AFB around about 1989 at the NCO Club. He was either SMSgt or CMSgt at the time, I can't remember now. I retrained after getting stuck on KC-135s after leaving Ubon into Club Manager. Got out for 18 months, got back in the AF and became a Radar Operator, and eventually a First Sgt. I'll always remember Blind Bat and all the good times with Easy Flight.
